It's more than just saving lives-- it's about honoring them.
We’re building more than a platform—we’re building a movement. One that empowers users through meaningful incentives to take action, whether that’s adopting, fostering, or simply helping spread the word. As we grow, our vision expands to include all types of animals, and our dedication to innovation ensures that we continue evolving to serve them better.
**The Friend & Foster mobile app will soon be available on google playstore and the iOs app soon. Launch date will be added here when available.**
Our Mission
With the Friend and Foster mobile app, we believe every animal deserves a chance at a full, loved life.
Our mission is rooted in compassion, action, and community. We are committed to supporting high-volume kill shelters by giving their most vulnerable animals a platform to be seen, shared, and ultimately saved. Through accessible digital tools and engaging features, we connect potential adopters and fosters with dogs in need across all 50 states—and soon, beyond.
Our services
Take a dog for a walk
Give a shelter dog the exercise they need—and give their shelter a well-earned break. Our dog-walking program lets you "rent" a furry friend for a 15-, 30-, or 60-minute walk. It's a rewarding way to spend time with a pup, support your local shelter, and make a difference—one walk at a time.
Take a dog for the day
Give a shelter dog the best day ever—while giving their shelter a meaningful break. With our full-day dog walking experience, you can “rent” a furry friend for a day filled with walks, playtime, and all the love they deserve. It’s a beautiful way to brighten their day—and yours.
Take the dog for an extended Stay
Give a shelter dog a weekend to remember—and their shelter a well-earned rest. With our Extended Stay experience, you can “rent” a furry friend for the entire weekend, sharing walks, playtime, and all the love they’ve been waiting for. It’s a meaningful way to make a difference—and create a bond that just might last a lifetime.
Foster care and Adoption
Open your heart and home to a shelter dog—whether it’s for a few days or forever.
With our Foster-to-Adopt option, you can foster a dog for 4 days or longer, giving them a safe space to rest, recover, and feel loved outside the shelter environment. If you fall in love (and we think you might), adoption is always an option.
It’s more than just fostering—it’s a chance to change a life. Maybe even two.
About us
At Friend and Foster, we believe every dog deserves a story filled with love, belly rubs, and second chances. We’re a passionate pack of animal lovers on a mission to connect shelter pups with the perfect temporary or forever friends—because sometimes all a dog needs is a little time, a lot of love, and a warm lap.
Whether you’re looking to open your home for a few days or forever, we’re here to help you create moments that matter—for you and your new furry buddy. We know that fostering isn’t just about giving a dog a break; it’s about making a difference, building bonds, and sharing joy.
So, if you’re ready to add a little wag, wiggle, and unconditional love to your life, welcome to the family. Let’s change lives—one paw at a time.
